    People who mispronounced words by swallowing Ts or adding Rs. Example: Pronouncing words like button (button with two tees) as buh-in. Example 2: Wash becoming warsh.

    I believe public flogging should be brought back to end this.

    Who actually pronounces the middle /t/ in button or kitten? :unsure: That would sound weird.

    "Warsh" is a American regional dialect that is not very common anymore. Can't imagine where @Dinner would have heard it in California, unless he's been hanging out with Granny and Jethro by the cee-ment pond.

    The assault on science and reason in any form.
    Christian fundies on the right, SJWs and medicine quacks on the left.
    Conspiracy goobers on both sides.

    The inability to pronounce "button" to @Dinner's exacting standards may be the result of a glottal stop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glottal_stop

    Those of us who grew up in NYC have trouble with words like "little" and "bottle."

    As for what annoys me? Snobs like @Dinner.

    And packaging...anything from "childproof" caps (they aren't) to a dollar's worth of nails or screws in $2 worth of plastic-on-cardboard-where-the-hell's-my-box-cutter-to-open-this-fucking-thing? packaging. :brood:

    Completely unrelated to this thread topic, I believe those are going to be going away - at least, for some medications. The company I work, in an attempt to get to know their patients lives and difficulties better, went to the homes of patients around the world to see with their own eyes (writing letters don't always convey the extent of difficulty) how and when and where and in what situations do people take their medicine. One patient demonstrating from getting the medicine to the mail to taking the medicine, showed how she opened her medicine bottle. The entire team and camera man all walked with the patient into the kitchen where (can't remember if it was a man or woman) placed the bottle on the meat slicer and sliced off the top of the medicine cap.

    We have an entire research team finding ways to open jars easy for arthritis patients while keeping children out of them.

    If you want to use that label.
    When it rakes in billions, can you call it "alternative", anymore?

    People who use terms like SJW any time they disagree with a person, rather than talking abut the actual content.

    I don't distinguish between flavors of quackery, reflexology, homeopathy, and anti-vaxx go right next to faith healing, because it's all pseudo-science.

    I don't like it when people come into my office and sit on my desk.

    I sometimes eat there; don't put your butt there.

    You have to desensitize yourself to your fear of contamination. Go ahead and just eat food straight off their butts. It will make the process go faster. :ramen:

    People who go crazy over a slight ding or scratch in their car as though they were gutshot.

    Get a clue people. It is a car, not a kidney.

    Others.

    People who get swindled by some kind of con artist and appear on television bemoaning the fact that "We lost our entire life savings!!".

    Who the hell risks their entire life savings (or even half of it) on some financial venture.???

    Let's be honest. The problem isn't that these people were too trusting or gullible. Their problem is that they were too damn greedy. They couldn't be happy living on $200,000 (their carefully accumulated life savings). Instead they had to be greedy and hope to get an extra 300-400,000 dollars for nothing.

    1.spelling? For me it's misusing/mixing up words:
    then...than
    to...too...two
    wait....weight
    2. drivers who don't turn on their headlights when it's dark and/or raining - okay, bad drivers in general
    3. people who block doorways/store aisles/etc. as if nobody else is around or will come around. Best example would be my son was trying to swim laps in the designated swimming lanes. Some woman was stopped in the lane carrying on a conversation with another swimmer not in the lanes. My son politely said "excuse me, I'm trying to swim here in this lane." She went all hostile and screamed "well excuse ME! I'm trying to talk here!" :jayzus:
    Hmmm......you can talk anywhere. The other woman in the conversation is in the general common area of the pool and talking so you don't have to park your ass in the designated lap lane. Yet you can and should swim in the lap lane. Some people are just too ignorant to reason with, and my son was vastly outnumbered at this pool, so he left before he ended up on a YouTube "beat-down" video. :(
